Faarfannaa 116

1 Ani Waaqayyoon nan jaalladha; inni sagalee waammata kootii naa dhagaʼeeraatii.

I love YHWH, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.

2 Sababii inni gurra isaa gara kootti deebiseef, ani hamman lubbuun jiraadhutti isa nan waammadha.

Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

3 Kiyyoon duʼaa na marse; dhiphinni Siiʼoolis na qabate; ani rakkinaa fi gaddaan nan moʼame. (Sheol h7585)

The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)

4 Anis, “Yaa Waaqayyo na oolchi!” jedhee maqaa Waaqayyoo nan waammadhe.

Then I called on the name of YHWH: "YHWH, I beg you, deliver my soul."

5 Waaqayyo arjaa fi qajeelaa dha; Waaqni keenya gara laaffessa.

YHWH is Gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.

6 Waaqayyo garraamota ni eega; yeroo ani baayʼee rakkadhetti isatu na gargaare.

YHWH preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.

7 Yaa lubbuu ko, boqonnaa keetti deebiʼi; Waaqayyo waan gaarii siif godheeraatii.

Return to your rest, my soul, for YHWH has dealt bountifully with you.

8 Ati yaa Waaqayyo lubbuu koo duʼa irraa, ija koo imimmaan irraa, miilla koo gufachuu irraa waan oolchiteef,

For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

9 ani biyya warra jiraatoo keessa, fuula Waaqayyoo dura nan jiraadha.

I will walk before YHWH in the land of the living.

10 Ani yeroo, “Ani baayʼee dhiphadheera” jedhetti, amantii koo eeggadheera.

I believed, therefore I said, "I am greatly afflicted."

11 Ani yommuun burjaajaʼetti, “Namni hundinuu sobduu dha” nan jedhe.

I said in my haste, "All men are liars."

12 Waan gaarii inni naa godhe hundaaf, ani Waaqayyoof maalan deebisa?

What will I give to YHWH for all his benefits toward me?

13 Ani xoofoo fayyinaa ol kaasee maqaa Waaqayyoo nan waammadha.

I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of YHWH.

14 Fuula saba isaa hundumaa duratti, ani wareega koo Waaqayyoof nan galcha.

I will pay my vows to YHWH, yes, in the presence of all his people.

15 Duuti qulqulloota isaa, fuula Waaqayyoo duratti ulfina qaba.

Precious in the sight of YHWH is the death of his faithful ones.

16 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani dhugumaan tajaajilaa kee ti; ani tajaajilaa kee ilma tajaajiltuu keetii ti; ati foncaa koo narraa hiikteerta.

YHWH, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains.

17 Ani aarsaa galataa siif nan dhiʼeessa; maqaa Waaqayyoos nan waammadha.

I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on the name of YHWH.

18 Iddoo sabni isaa hundi jirutti, ani wareega koo Waaqayyoof nan galcha;

I will pay my vows to YHWH, yes, in the presence of all his people,

19 yaa Yerusaalem si keessatti, oobdii mana Waaqayyoo irrattis nan galcha. Haalleluuyaa.

in the courts of YHWH's house, in the midst of you, Jerusalem. Praise JAH.
